What does it mean to be Australian?
Through my sociology course, one of the ideas we keep coming back to is what it means to belong to a particular culture. i'm finding it very hard to explain what being an Australian means to me, and if indeed it is possible to get any kind of concrete definition, so I thought I'd pose the question to you all.
What does being an Australian mean to you? Can you define a typical Australian? Are there particular traits you think are representative of Aussies in general? Do you consider yourself to be Australian? (if not, why not, were you born elsewhere etc?)
For anyone not living in Australia, feel free to answer these questions in relation to your own home country.
